Grossular Garnet 1.21ct Asscher | The Mint Hall of Mirrors Promise
Voi Mint Grossular Garnet – Asscher Cut Brilliance
✧ A Jewel from the Heart of Voi
Hand-selected during our 2024 gem-hunting expedition across the legendary mining belts of Kamutonga, Mkuki, Kasigau, and Mwatate in Voi County, this mint-green Grossular Garnet is a rare treasure born of East African earth and craftsmanship. The region, revered for its elusive tsavorites and garnets, gave rise to this gem after weeks of meticulous sourcing under unpredictable seasonal rains.
✧ An Ode to Refined Green: Mint with Majesty
Set apart by its soft pastel mint hue, this Grossular mirrors the delicate freshness of the Merelani mines but with a softer, more ethereal presence. Though it lacks strong bluish undertones, it radiates a pastel luminous green that evokes serenity, rarity, and refined sophistication.
